Dvorak has been sidelined by an upper-body injury since January 24th but appears ready to play Thursday vs. the Stars. Dvorak has been relatively quiet in his first season with Montreal, scoring seven goals with nine assists (16 points) in 34 games.
Evans missed Saturday's game in Edmonton but is set to play Wednesday against the Canucks. Evans should slot back in as the No.3 centre and has scored seven goals with nine assists (16 points) in 47 games this season.
Byron missed the last four games with an upper-body injury that he suffered vs. the Sabres on February 23rd. Byron has been limited to just nine games this season, scoring one goal with one assist. He will replace Michael Pezzetta in the lineup.
Evans missed Saturday's game in Edmonton and skated in a non-contact jersey on Monday, leaving his status for Wednesday's game in doubt. Expect an update following the Canadiens' morning skate.
Matheson will miss at least a couple of weeks with an upper-body injury. Mark Friedman skated in his spot on the third pairing and will likely replace Matheson in the lineup vs. the Rangers on Saturday.
